Welcome! First step is easy peas. Follow these instructions to download codeblocks and start to familiarize yourself with anprograming IDE (integrated development environment (like Word or Excel) except for coding.
http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads --> site location for free IDE and compiler
codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup.exe --> Here is the IDE and compiler nicely built in one suite
Do this play around with drop down menus and do what you do learn what tabs mean these days (google it wink emoticon. Detailed tutorial to do this if you have any problems is here: https://www.thenewboston.com/videos.php?cat=16&video=17477If you have any questions just shoot me a post here.
The best place I have found for learning how to code is not at a traditional institution you pay at. For now, it is here:
https://www.thenewboston.com/videos.phpJust select the computer science option and start watching the C++ videos and use your new free snazzy IDE and compiler to make some simple programs smile emoticon smile emoticon

Thanks Scott! I am posting working programs 40-50 for TNB C++ tutorials and had to go back to "deconstruuctors" since all work but it. Then will upload this with those 10 programs. I uploaded 1-40 in stream below (link to gethub) just an fyi. I am close to figuring it out so should shortly. You can take a stab at it if you like :)

I will be posting this code to gethub where it is easier to work on if anyone is interested. I'm still learning and giving back source code to https://www.thenewboston.com/ so expect this to be done in a week or two. Figure we all have to keep learning to build this thing.
